Answers:
I don't think coughing is normal for people who have Tietze Syndrome, though it might be because the chest swelling puts to much pressure on the lungs
Or coughing might even be the cause of the Tietze in the first place, so she should definitely go again to the doctor as soon as possible!

Tietze is nothing to serious , I had Tietze syndrome then I was small and now I'm completely fine as it passes after 3-4 months,
What it is is a swelling and inflammation of costal cartilages rip cages and the clavicles, it is often very pain full and unpleasant!. It can also be very hard to sleep while having it as you can't really lie down in any comfortable position due to the chest pain and it disables you from doing a number of things while having it
The causes of it are not really known but as I said people with sever caughts can get it, did your friend have any coughing before!?
All causes are generally related to some injury or straining of the chest, I got it as I had rheumatoid arthritis and scoliosis which caused it!

Don't worry your friend will be well again in no time :)Www@Answer-Health@Com
